RICHMOND, Texas, Nov. 19 (UPI) — Golfers at a Texas golf course encountered a sizable obstacle Wednesday, as a massive alligator found its way onto the course.
The 12-foot-long, 600-700 pound gator, nicknamed Chubbs, was found near the 13th hole of River Pointe Golf Club in Richmond. The course called local gator wranglers the Gator Squad to remove the massive creature after golfers got too close.
“The report was golfers weren’t being too nice to him, golfers were getting too close to him and he was too big and they were just uncomfortable with the whole situation,” Gator Squad’s Christy Kroboth told ABC 13 Texas.
The Gator Squad was able to remove the gator by loading him onto a tractor before transferring him to their truck.
“I was able to walk up to him, put a rope on him, he went into the death roll thing, tried to jump in the water, tried to take me for a little swim but all in all we were able to pull him out, pull him back on shore, calm him down,” said Kroboth.
Because Chubbs is missing an eye, Kroboth and the Gator Squad transferred him to their farm in El Campo as opposed to releasing him back into the wild.
